Round 3 - Pick 74 - Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee

[Jscc]

He gives us another element so on paper, this was a good idea I believe...

I would've preferred they use Njoku to fill more of that big receiver role when playing 4-5 out.

They will, but Njoku doesn't have the hands Tillman does...

Well I hope he can stay healthy.

I wouldn't have taken a receiver at 74 with Amari/DPJ/Elijah already on the roster and a slew of depth players behind then.

None of them are good, and, IMO, this is just another clear sign that the days of the 21/31 offense is dead.

They are going spread. Tillman fits as a future Cooper replacement. People will claim he's slow, but it doesn't really matter if he is or not. He's a catch point god, and is more than willing to go up and get it. The type of guy Watson thrives with.

Good player. Still good players there, not a huge fan of the choice, but I get it. Don't think he'll ever be a 1, but could ultimately be, idk, Courtland Sutton 2.0?

 

[Snowblind]

Maybe he could be like Michael Pittman? Really surprised they didn't take a defensive lineman

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Guys on Sirius XM Fantasy projected him for 18 rec, 232 yards, 2 TD

You’re going to need him in 2024 (minus DPJ), you’re going to need to rely on him in 2025 (minus Cooper?).

He’s certainly physical on film and he’s got enough athleticism.


Does he have that dog in him? Seems to get YAC and understand how to fall forward well as a runner.

Shown decent ability to catch with the hands.

He’s a 23 yo rookie, he’s closing in on old yeller status.

Part 1, WR/TE: Hallelujah, it's the Year of the Tight End

Michael Mayer, Dalton Kincaid and Darnell Washington may drive this All-American position into the next generation. Bob McGinn's 39th annual draft series begins exactly where it should.

8. CEDRIC TILLMAN, Tennessee (6-3 ½, 215, 4.56, 3): Caught merely eight passes in his first three seasons before breaking out in 2021. Missed six games in 2022 with an ankle injury that required surgery. “When Tillman played he (Jalin Hyatt) was the No. 2,” said one scout. “More of a possession receiver but a big, strong guy with strong hands. He is a good player. It’s just, is he fast enough?” Probably the biggest player on the wide-receiver board. “Like him,” said a second scout. “He’s a big possession rebounder guy.” Finished with 109 receptions for 1,622 (14.9) and 17 TDs. “He was a disappointment,” a third scout said. “People said, ‘Go look at last year’s stuff.’ He looked the same. Just a big possession guy. Not much separation. Not great routes. For a big guy his hands were just OK. He didn’t fire me up. I’d take Hyatt.” His father, Cedric (6-2, 204), played wide receiver for Denver and Jacksonville from 1992-’95, catching 87 passes for 1,227 (14.1) and seven TDs. From Las Vegas.
